Chapter 394 - Conquest Ambitions
Chapter 394 - Conquest AmbitionsAfter leaving Planet Hydra, Yaan made his way towards the centre of the Divine Hydra Sector, where a certain Divine True Inheritance was being guarded by a short impish looking man known as Titan Deity, accompanied by one of the Primordial Sage’s bodies.
Very little was known about Titan Deity, even his title remained a mystery to Yaan. However, he was still just an Earthly Deity in the end, and it only took a glance for Yaan to see that he held unwavering loyalty towards the Primordial Sage.
After exchanging some brief pleasantries with the pair, Yaan searched the region for some time. After finding no traces of any other divinities in the region, he didn’t waste much time and soon departed, now heading towards the Divine Dragon Sector.
The Primordial Sage no longer tried to instruct Yaan on where he should go to further their conquest. At this point, their victory was all but assured, it was only a matter of time before the star system fell completely under their control. She also knew that Yaan had his own objectives, and he had no intention of following her orders.
On the surface, this battle for supremacy over the star system might seem like a mutual effort between Yaan, the Primordial Sage and the 15 Deities, against the rest of the divine world and those who opposed their aim to take everything for themselves…
But the way Yaan saw it, their successful take-over was only a matter of time. The Divine Court had already given up on this star system, and the Primordial Asura and Primordial Spirit had agreed to provide assistance in exchange for the Infinity Lake and Spirit Palace, before leaving this place for 10,000 years. This left only individual divinities and small groups of Deities to contest against…
It really wasn’t even a contest, their success was just a matter of time.
In reality, this was a competition between Yaan and the Primordial Sage, to see who could contribute the most to the conquest efforts, but more importantly…to see which of them could develop the greatest influence amongst the divinities in the Four Divine Star System by the time this conquest was over.
Naturally, from the get go, the Primordial Sage held a massive advantage in this competition. She had planned the entire conquest, and she started out with 15 Deities under her command. On the surface, it seemed that this wasn’t much of a competition; how could Yaan possibly come out on top?
The Sage had declared Yaan her ‘equal’ to those 15 Deities, but in reality, Yaan could at most be considered the vice-leader of this conquest, and of the group in general.
But he had no interest in being some vice-leader of a group formed by the Primordial Sage.
If he was going to lead, then he might as well actually lead…and this had been his intention from the beginning.
Since becoming a divinity, Yaan had a simple goal - seek dao, and find the path to transcend the Origin.
He had started from a point of severely lacking understanding. After completing his dao heart, where was he supposed to go from there, how could he improve by another entire realm - no, how could he progress to an entirely new, higher Step?
Foundation Step - the mortal realms of cultivation, wherein the foundation for one’s future attainments were built.hrough with his Dao Clones and the Fragments from the Primordial Devil’s botched reincarnation, further enhancing his experience in various matters…
And of course, he had absorbed the memories of two other divinities - Heartless Deity, and the Primordial Devil.
After ascending to the Divine Step, the Primordial Sage returned the memories of the Heartless Deity to him, the memories that he had been granted from the Heartless Inheritance. The Sage originally took those memories simply because at the time, his cultivation had been too weak to tolerate them without his mind collapsing.
His Dao Clone of Soul had devoured the Primordial Devil’s memories in the inheritance left behind for his reincarnation. After reaching the Divine Step, Yaan became able to process those memories, giving him an additional three million years of memories.
The memories of the Dao Clones and Fragments were clear in his mind, but the Heartless Deity and Primordial Devil had simply lived for far too long. Unless he spent several thousand years meditating on those memories, the majority of them would remain as blurred, vague recollections in his mind, until he specifically focussed on certain memories, shining light on those memories and granting clarity to those moments from the past.
He didn’t have the luxury to spend so long just to properly elucidate those memories right now, but he certainly would at some point in the future.
The point was, Yaan had a bountiful collection of life experiences to draw upon, making it such that no matter how he decided to live his life - in solitude or in the spotlight - he was confident that he would be able to thrive and excel.
For this reason, his cultivation body had settled on two straight forwards goals.
Firstly, this body would comprehend the nature of divinity, Divine Power and Divine Essence, doing so by creating Divine Spells. He would start by taking his Dao Spells and turning them into Divine Spells, then from there, he would try to create more Divine Spells, perhaps drawing upon both his Dao Spells and Sword Arts to create something new. Perhaps eventually, he would be able to create an entire Divine Art - a series of connected Divine Spells that made up a complete system of powers which covered all areas.
He would devise these Divine Spells between periods of activity, like right now, as he attempted to create a Reveal Truth Divine Spell as he travelled to the Divine Dragon Sector. Yaan had the feeling that he would experience even greater success if he worked on refining his Divine Spells in the midst of battle though…which led to his cultivation body’s second goal.
This conquest of the Four Divine Star System was just the beginning. In Yaan’s pursuit of dao…
He was going to conquer the world.
